Yeah, I've noticed the new STEAM_1 now instead of STEAM_0, I've decided to throw out storing the steam ID's as strings and will be converting my database to store them as the 32 bit integer version of a steam id.
I kind of wonder why valve did that though. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Leighton Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2008 9:02 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] VAC problems and L4D steamids Because right now I think valve made an update which has screwed the steam system over. (That is my personal view anyway). I got gifted L4D, and couldn't download for 3 hours, because every time i tried to install it I was promped for my password because my "ticket" expired. This happens every time the download stalls, and requires the blobs to be deleted and me to relogin again to get the download moving. Also happens for other games, so I think its to do with Steam servers rather than any game engine itself or VAC.
